Example of SLIP configuration

The configuration in this example enables SLIP sessions and ensures the terminal server’s
response to BOOTP in SLIP sessions. To implement the configuration:
1Open a Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options subprofile.
2Enable the use of the SLIP command:
SLIP=Yes
3Enable the use of BOOTP in SLIP sessions.
4Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Configuring dial-out options
The terminal server has access to the MAX unit digital modems, and can be configured to
enable users on the local network to dial through the digital modems. To enable local dial-out,
you set the following parameters in Ethernet > Mod Config TServ Options:
Ethernet
Mod Config
TServ Options
Modem dialout=Yes
Immediate Modem=N/A
Imm. Modem port=N/A
Imm. Modem Pwd=N/A

How to use nonimmediate-modem dial-out

If you enable dial-out (not immediate modem), users can access a modem after connecting to
the MAX unit from a workstation by means of Telnet. For example:
Telnet max01
Once you establish the Telnet session, the user proceeds as follows:
SLIP BOOTP That the terminal server responds to BOOTP within SLIP sessions. A
user who initiates a SLIP session can then get an IP address from the
designated IP address pool via BOOTP. If the parameter is set to No,
the terminal server does not run BOOTP. Instead, the u ser is prompted
to accept an IP address at the start of the SLIP session.
IP Netmask Msg Text message the MAX unit displays before the netmask field in the
SLIP session startup message. You can enter up to 64 characters. (IP
Netmask Msg does not apply unless you set SLIP Info to Advanced.)
IP Gateway Addr
Msg Text the unit displays before the unit IP address field in the SLIP
session startup message. You can enter up to 64 characters. (IP
Gateway Addr Msg does not apply unles s you set SLIP Info to
Advanced.)
Slip Info That the MAX unit reports the SLIP user’s IP address and the
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), or reports the SLIP user’s IP
address, the MTU, the Netmask, and the Gateway to SLIP users.
